More ideas for summer
• Montgomery County Department of Recreation offers SSL hours for help with various programs. Go to www.montgomerycountymd.gov/rec, link to programs, teens, and volunteer opportunities.
• You can also earn SSL hours by working as a CIT, without pay, for a private non-profit camp or summer program. Before applying, ask someone at the organization if it is non-profit. If it is not a preapproved SSL site, you will need to get approval from Ms. Katz to volunteer. Most applications for CIT work are due in January or February.
• Volunteer with Whitman’s “Running Strong for Native American Youth” club and travel to North Dakota in July to work on various service projects on a Native American reservation. Contact Mr. O’Brien Colin_R_O’Brien@mcpsmd.org
• Check with your place of worship about summer community service projects. Check with Ms. Katz to see if a project would be approved.
